A Cal Grant is money you don’t have to pay back. It’s your ticket to CSU’s, UC’s, Private Colleges, Community Colleges, Career and Technical schools.
High School Seniors... Apply for a Cal Grant or the NEW Middle Class Scholarship - it could be your ticket to success!
Remember to submit your FAFSA or DREAM Act Application and Cal Grant GPA Verification Form between January 1 - March 2, 2014 (no earlier and no later unless otherwise directed by a financial aid office)
Attend a hands on FREE Cash for College Workshop and you could cash in on a $1,000 scholarship! Steps to be Prepared:
1. Bring Student and Parent Social Security #’s (and Alien Registration #’s if you are not a U.S. Citizen). - If you don’t have either, come find out what financial aid options are available such as the CA DREAM Act and other scholarships.
2. Bring your family’s most recent Federal tax forms like 1040, W-2, bank statements, etc. You will not have to reveal this information to anyone, but you will need it to complete the forms. - If your family’s 2012 federal tax returns are not ready yet, bring 2011 tax returns for estimating. - To locate a FREE Tax Preparation Center in your neighborhood visit www.earnitkeepitsaveit.org (EarnIt!KeepIt!SaveIt! is a program of the United Way of the Bay Area. Information updated January 2013)
3. Submit a Cal Grant GPA Verification Form (or the Release Form) to your counselor ASAP. Get the form from your counselor, or print one from the California Student Aid Commission website: www.csac.ca.gov
4. Check college/university websites for special financial aid deadlines and forms (i.e. Collegeboard’s CSS Profile).
